This model combines the proven Hellcat frame with a longer 3.8-inch barrel and a pre-mounted HEX Wasp micro red dot sight, offering a ready-to-carry system without requiring aftermarket modifications.

Overview

Springfield Armory engineered the Hellcat RDP (Rapid Defense Package) to bridge the gap between subcompact concealability and full-size performance. The 3.8-inch barrel increases muzzle velocity over standard micro compacts, while the included HEX Wasp red dot provides a clear, low-profile aiming solution. This pistol ships with two magazines, a flush-fit 13-round and an extended 15-round, utilizing the same Adaptive Grip Texture found on the standard Hellcat. The RDP variant is a purpose-built defensive tool, not a range toy, and it has earned its place among the top-selling concealed carry pistols in the United States.
